Justin Cohen is a motivational speaker and author from Johannesburg. He is the man behind Big Little Stories which is a website featuring inspirational and motivational videos that speak about kindness, gratitude and power. Justin’s message is unmistakably South African and I believe he is an incredible ambassador for the country. Justin very kindly replied to my request for an interview.

How would you describe South Africa to someone who has never been there before?
The best place to live if you can stay alive!
What would you say is the single best thing about South Africa?
I once had the privilege of visiting Sting’s house in London, it is beautiful but on a middle class income you could afford the same size house in South Africa with a better view and much better weather. The quality of life here is extraordinary.
